Ways to donate to The Pirate Castle

If you'd like to support our community projects and help make a difference, donating to The Pirate Castle couldn't be easier!

We are hugely grateful for every piece of eight or shiny dubloon to help fund our raft of canal-based community projects - here are some examples of how your donations help keep us afloat and make our work possible:

£30 funds a new spray deck or safety equipment for kayaking and canoeing sessions

£100 funds an accredited kayak instructor for 1 day of our inclusive Holiday Scheme
We can take up to 8 children per day for each instructor. At least 3 instructors are needed every day of the Holiday Scheme to meet demand - even more in the summer!

£250 funds a free boat trip on the Regent's Canal for disability and special needs groups, families in hardship and the voluntary groups who support them

£400 funds accredited training for one of our volunteer canal boat skippers
We are an official training centre for the National Community Boats Association and train all of our volunteer skippers and crew in-house to rigorous standards
